Chapter 49 The Maid

Zhu Youan's panic and crying made the fourth wife very interested, leaned forward, her eyes lit up.

Without caring about the undyed nails, the fourth wife stood up and looked so kind when facing Zhu Youan for the first time. She supported her with both hands and took a veil and gently wiped her face.

"Good boy, I'm so pitiful. What scares you so much? Don't be afraid, you can tell me anything about Wei's mother, and I'm the one who decides for you."

Zhu Youan choked up and felt that the fingers of the fourth wife's face were as cold as a wandering snake, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

She raised her eyes and blinked her big eyes, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, I really didn't see anything. I just said it wrong just now, but I was confused for a moment."

The fourth wife felt impatient in an instant.

But in the blink of an eye, the fourth wife returned to gentleness and gentleness: "Silly girl, we are two women, can we still be so cautious? Don't be afraid, you can tell me anything."

"Then, then I said?"

"Tell me, be good."

Zhu Youan swallowed nervously and said, "I have been beaten so badly by Aunt Han these days. It's not just because my wife told Aunt Han to teach me. But one day, I accidentally bumped into her and a man having a tryst."

"What did you say?" The fourth wife's eyes lit up and she grabbed Zhu Youan's arms excitedly, "Do you have evidence! You can't talk nonsense about such things!"

Zhu You'an said: "I, how dare I talk nonsense? I really saw it. And I heard them say that authenticity is unusable. Also, they made an appointment to burn incense."

Burn incense?

The fourth wife looked at the same time with the Sun Master beside her, and her heart was moved.

Aunt Han went to burn incense to ask the fourth wife for instructions. Because she said she was unwell recently and there were chaos at home, she wanted to go to the temple to burn incense and stay for another two days to pray for blessings.

The fourth wife originally thought that such a fairy would avoid the master from being in the mansion. It would be better to go out, so she agreed.

Who knows that she actually has a purpose?

The fourth wife asked, "Where did Han go to burn incense?"

Mrs. Sun said, "I heard a few words vaguely, saying that I was going to Baomen Temple?"

The fourth wife smiled and pinched Zhu Youan's chin, smiling, but the strength in her hands was not light.

"You'd better have heard it really, not deliberately lied about revenge on Han. If you get it wrong, you know what the consequences will be."

Zhu Youan's heart skipped a beat.

She is also a little uncertain now.

She knew that Zhu Youning hated her and would not be so kind to her.

Why did she believe Zhu Youning!

If there is no such thing, wouldn’t the fourth wife hate her? What other good fruit can she have to eat then!

However, at this time, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.

Zhu Youan nodded with red eyes, "Don't worry, mother, why did I make fun of such a thing? I really heard it."

"Okay." The fourth wife said in a spirited manner: "Prepare a car for me, bring a few more guards, and a stronger woman, follow me out."

"Yes!" Mrs. Sun was excited and said.

The fourth wife left Zhu Youan and walked out with her confidant maid and a group of people.

Zhu Youning, who was waiting in front of the Sifang Mansion, saw a team of carriages leaving the mansion and heading towards Baomen Temple with whipping horses. Then he smiled and went home.

When I arrived at home, I rushed to the yard to stand a fat woman in cotton and aerial garments. A dozen girls in coarse cloth clothes were followed by the woman.

Mrs. Li followed Zhu Huating and was asking the fat woman, "You girls have clean backgrounds, are you? Our Zhu family is a wealthy family and will not want those girls who have been abducted."

The fat woman smiled and said, "If it's not the case, we are serious business, and these girls are voluntarily selling themselves."

When Zhu Huating saw Zhu Youning enter the door, he smiled and waved to her.

"Fu Ya'er, come here, you can choose a few people yourself."

Zhu Youning walked over as he said.

In fact, she was still resistant to such things as population trading.

But she also knew that people in her life are divided into different levels, and it is normal to buy and sell slaves.

And she also felt that she was really missing a few walking around her.

Zhu Youning looked at the girls a few times.

The girls were all eleven or twelve years old, and although they were worn out, they were all very clean.

Seeing Zhu Youning look over, they showed a timid smile on their faces.

Zhu Youning asked: "Who are you good at cooking? Who can recognize words? What are your specialties? Let me tell me one by one."

Then a little girl said, "Miss, I, I recognize a few words, but I don't recognize much."

"Miss, I can embroider and cook."

"I can cook, I can chop wood and wash clothes, please keep me."

...

Zhu Youning felt even more uncomfortable when she heard these girls recommending themselves. However, she still chose four of them.

In the future, she will have more and more things. She needs people around her to trust, and she cannot always let her father do laundry and cook at home. Since she has this condition, she doesn’t have to continue to be so frugal.

After signing the document to sell oneself and getting the contracts for the four little girls, he happily took the remaining girls to say goodbye.

Zhu Youning asked the four girls’ names.

The one who knows how to read is called Zhaodi, the one who knows embroidery is called Sanwa, the one who looks honest and honest, who claims to be able to do any rough work is called Jinniu, and the other who is very beautiful and clever, is called Pandi.

Zhu Youning was quite helpless when he heard this, and was really disgusted with the trend of favoring boys over girls.

"I'll change your name, do you want to?"

"Of course I've listened to the girl." Pandi said cleverly.

Zhu Youning smiled and said to Brother Pan, "Your name is Bailing."

"Yes, thank you girl!"

He pointed to the other three again, "Zhao's name was Huamei instead, Sanwo's name was Yuanyang, and Jinniu's name was Nightingale."

The four little girls all liked it and nodded repeatedly with smiles.

However, because no one taught the four of them, they neither knew the rules nor spoke official words, and they were a little dumb.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Miss Jiu, if you don't dislike it, why don't I teach the rules of a few girls, and follow the ones in the mansion."

Since Mrs. Li was afraid, and Zhu Youning was highly valued, she was respectful to their family.

Besides, there is no better candidate now.

Zhu Youning smiled and nodded, "Then it's a blessing for Mother Li. Haven't you seen Mother Li before?"

Hearing Zhu Youning's name, the four little girls were flattered and didn't even dare to say it. Then they greeted Mrs. Li again.
